Cranked

It's starting to get painful watching these Senators play out the stretch here.

One of the only highlights was watching Jason Spezza stick up for Dany Heatley by instigating a fight with Dion Phaneuf. If anything, that altercation shows the worth of a player like Chris Neil but it looks like he's headed out of town if no last minute contract is worked out, further weakening this team for the future.

Right now, the loss seems secondary as the city waits to see what Bryan Murray does tomorrow at the trade deadline.

I'll be posting some quick reactions to any trades the Senators may do during the day and do a proper wrap-up later in the evening.

I agree that this team will be weaker once Neil goes. However, if Murray signs him for 2.5M, it will weaken this team even more. Every buck counts in the cap world and 2.5M is far too much for Neil's services. His knuckles can be replaced at a fraction of that price.
